Default Sprinkler head leak

Lawn right?

A constant leak will make me look at the zone control valve, the
rubber diaphragm(sp) will become rigid/brittle/debris and not seal
properly.

The downhill sprinkler head will leak the water. If this zone works;
otherwise, I suggest is may not be a solenoid (replace cracked ones).

Buy a kit for the control valve, but I tend to cut them out for
replacement.
